On mine, the kid just opened the door before the timer dial was back to off position. Couldn’t even finish watching this video bc the sniffing so bad… hopefully after all these years guy has learned to lay off the llallo before filming.
I was just having problems. I opened the back panel and everything looked okay. Springs at the different locations were working. But the soap door wouldn't lock. I left the soap door as it and ran a short wash cycle and I could hear the clicking of one of the arms operating. If my circuit boards weren't talking to eat other I knew I may have to replace my dishwasher since I've had it from 2003. I see that parts are available. Some basic parts like a lever arm or two but no electronic boards. But then I remember that a week ago we had sort of a power blink. It was making my UPS for my computer make noises and the lights barely blinked. I thought of trying to reset the dishwasher by shutting off the circuit breaker. That cleared up my problem.
OMG, I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS!!! The microwave went out on Christmas Eve. I was able to follow your video and fix it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!❤❤im house sitting and accidentally pushed those door locks in, I thought I was gonna have to buy a new $500 microwave for my mother in law but just a few screws and pushing those things back in and BAM!! FIXED🫶
Thank you man! I have zero handyman skills and literally was poking the latch with tweezers. Found this video, 3 screws later it was done. 5 minutes. Zero skills. I would’ve been hitting it with a rock for hours if I didn’t find this video
Well 4 years ago you uploaded this video hoping to help others and you have succeeded! 4 years 40,000 views later and this video is still helping many I’m sure, but it didn’t help me it educated me and that knowledge will last for a very long time! My unit Is a whirlpool over the stove with fan MODEL-WMH53520CW-4. Which was almost the same only difference I saw was the screw in the front in between the LCD screen at top and the keypad under it. But with mine the keypad and LCD screen are 1 piece so instead of reaching the middle screw in the video from under the LCD screen you have to go from the top of the LCD screen that’s wide open after taking the top plastic piece that goes across the top off and you will get to the screw behind the LCD screen from the top on an angle still very easy. Then you push up on the LCD KEYPAD and it will come off. And the next thing that was different between the one in the video and mine it didn’t have that black cover piece behind it so was even easier to get back their and I let the LCD screen & number pad just hang backwards without removing any wire plugs which was still plenty of room to get you’re hand on each latch holder and reset them to fix the issue and if not for you’re vid I could of taken it apart and would have no clue how to reset them because I tried thinking about what I saw in you’re video but couldn’t figure it out so had to watch that part of you’re vid like 3 times in a row to get it right and I figured it out. And to put it back together it takes 2 minutes and I only had to remove 3 screws to begin with. Now she is back to normal working great but I won’t lie I was the reason it broke to begin with because sometimes I would open the microwave door and it would take like 2 second for the light to come on. So I thought maybe there’s something in the holes that lock the door so I slid a flathead screwdriver in each hole and heard a click and then thought that’s not good and after I popped both I tried to close the door but it wouldn’t work and I knew right away it was because I closed them clips. So I learned never do that again but I just wanna say thank you for uploading this vid because money is to tight right now to call a repair man especially for something that is a super easy fix. But without you’re video I would of had no chance and might have called a repair man that would of been like $2-$300 easily! So thank you once again!
Yup post broke for spring. Incidentally, the shaft where spring attaches was broken. My ingenious fix for that was I drilled a hole on the remaining post through the side of it and used a tie wrap through the hole. I then put the hook end of the spring on the tie wrap and squeezed the end with pliers to stay on. Then same with the other end to the plastic lever that rides the timer cam. It works good. Thanks for the tips.
